Did anyone get a chance to watch the Colbert Report last night? Lucas was on, and he even "submitted" an entry to the green screen challenge. I'm surprised that no one has posted on this yet... Hmm..

Anyway, I wasn't all that impressed with Lucas. At first it started to look cool, but then Jar Jar showed up. I thought that Colbert would cut him in half and have the audiance cheer, but he just kept on talking, and then Colbert started to mockingly talk like him...but it wasn't funny. Even something as simple as a green screen challenge, Lucas still manages to fuck it up. I'm glad the lost though. It would have sucked royally if Colbert actual made him the winner.

I did giggle at the end though when he and Colbert battled it out with lightsabers.

Various Jedi in battles - They were either killed from behind, murdered, or killed in the arena. Not a lot of time for death preperations. Bodies remain.

Yoda - Died peacefully in his bed. He knew it was his time. He knew "night must fall." Body disapears.

Vader - We don't actually see him disapear, but we don't see him in the suit either. Take it as you will. He may not have been dead while in the hanger bay, but only lost consiousness. He could have disapeared peacefully in the shuttle leaving only his suit. Or not. Your choice.

Originally posted by: JennyS1138I've gotten into that show over the past year and have caught up watching the DVD's. They've had some fabulous SW references including:

-Peter Griffin flashes back to the time he saved Luke Skywalker. They show Han Solo cut open his belly on Hoth. His guts come out and Peter says, "oh don't worry, it's only fat."

I have seen every family guy episode, but apparently I have missed that one! Holy cow!

Another great scene is from the episode where Peter publishes his Peterotica books, and a summons is brought to Mr. Puetershmidtt and he drops the lawyer in the the Rancor Pit. The lawyer excapes in the exact sam way that Luke does."Hmm...I didn't realize that Goldstein was a Jedi name."

I think that the original line was, "You failed, motherfucker." To which Luke jumps up and slices off the Emperor's head which lands on the ground before Luke does. But Lucas thought it would scare children.

I'm getting my disks today, but I really need to send the 2004's back. Should I send it to the ranch or some place else? And also, what is the address for the Ranch? I mean, which department should it go to.

Well, techinally these are being promoted as "theatrical versions." In the theater they did say "Close the blast doors!" but on the LD they forgot it. I'm hoping that the crew were able to squeeze that line in since it would make it more theatrically original.

Yeah, I saw the TV commercials. I thought they were cute. The little kids are saying "how much they want a pet wookie" and stuff like that. And the announcer guy was like "See Star Wars including it's original theatrical version!" with the scene with the REAL Anakin Skywalker standing next to Yoda and Kenobi. All I can say is, "yes."

Steve's death is an honerable one. His life's work was a noble cause and he went out like a hero (not like a punk, like choking on a ham bone or something).

And everyone is caught up in it because we actually give a rats ass about his life. Unlike some piss-ant movie star dieing of a cocaine overdose, or some blue blood royalty yuppie falling off his polo horse, or some lame singer drinking himself to death, or some fortune hieress killed in a car crash, or some worthless politician dieing of lung cancer. Who gives a fuck?

But Steve. Steve made you care about what he did. He was a bridge between our world and the animal kingdom. And even if we all thought he was nuts, we still loved him for it. And now he is gone, and the world is a little bit sadder.
